Another day passes and the investigative report on CBS News and Rathergate has not been released. The longer the delay, the more suspcious the report will be.
Here are today's interesting items.
+The Ohio Supreme Court has thrown out a challenge to the election results from the November election. The forty voters who filed the challenge may be able to refill.
Chief Justice Thomas Moyer ruled that the request improperly challenged two separate election results. Ohio law only allows only one race to be challenged in a complaint.
The complaint backed by the Rev. Jesse Jackson and a Columbus based attorney for the left-wing Alliance for Democracy group accuse the Bush campaign of "high tech vote stealing."
The complain questions the difference between exit polls and actual vote count. Without an specific information or evidence, the complaint says that over 100,000 votes were changed electronically from Kerry-Edwards to Bush-Cheney.
There are two thing wrong with the complaint, other than sponsorship by Jesse Jackson. First, the complaint says that exit polls are more accurate than vote counts. Isn't that the opposite of Jackson, "Every Vote Must Count" mantra? Second, the complain offers no evidence of "electronic stealing" of any vote.
So, if the complaint is re-filed, it is likely to be thrown for being spurious and lacking precedent or foundation.

+Who will be Time magazine's person of the year. Inside sources are telling the Drudge Report that President Bush is all "but a lock" for the honor. The official announcement is set for Sunday.
+Former NYPD Commisioner Bernard Kerik problems are far from over. The City of New York has announced a probe into Kerik's conduct as police commissioner.
The probe will look into various ethics violations during his tenure as NY's top cop. Kerik withdrew his name as the nominee for the Secretary of Homeland Security after revelations of a failure to pay taxes for a nanny who was also an illegal alien.

+This week Mary Beth Cahill, John Kerry's campaign manager, said that the campaign did not react swiftly or strongly enough against ads from the Swift Boat Veterans for truth. It seems Cahill is living in somewhat of a dreamworld.
First, the Kerry campaign sent letters to at least twenty television stations threatening them with lawsuits if the stations rant the Swift Boat ads. All twenty stations ignored the letter.
Then the campaign set out to destroy the reputation of any and all veterans who openly opposed Kerry's candidacy or fitness for office.
Ms Cahill just admit it, you lost because you had a weak candidate with no policies, plan, or platform.
